No upgrade for me. I did take a peek and J was full. Either they didn't notice because technically I didn't board on my birthday, or they didn't care enough to let me have it (MPC SL) - I'm guessing SOMEONE probably got upgraded to J because Y was full as well...too bad it wasn't me!

Maybe the birthday upgrade still falls behind gold and diamond upgrades!
Perhaps you could have a better chance if you took 881 instead of 883. Then you would have departed on your birthday.
